Bachelor of Fine Arts - Dance/LINES Ballet

Dominican and Alonzo King LINES Ballet offer a unique joint educational and artistic program culminating in a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Dance. This unique program combines the acclaimed, rigorous training and philosophy of one of the nation’s premier dance institutions with the comprehensive liberal arts education and social values of the Dominican tradition.

The students are intellectually curious and value the opportunity to receive dance training within a university context, to participate in academic inquiry and meaningful civic engagement. Classes are held in both San Rafael and San Francisco. The curriculum emphasizes ballet (western classical dance) as its foundational language, complemented by extensive training in modern dance and other dance forms.

The BFA in Dance prepares students for professional careers in dance as performers, teachers and choreographers, as well as for prestigious graduate programs. The program provides rigorous technical training alongside deep creative investigation, resulting in versatile artists with diverse professional possibilities.
